Yet Another Crap Mission
Just to let you know about my state of despair right now, I’m now involved (single-handedly, with a project leader and someone above and me to handle the whole s***) in a project with VisualAge for Java 4.0, to make Swing screens (remember how “great” the visual composition is with VAJ) and JDK 1.2.2. No CVS or anything, which is just a fine idea amongst others and allowed me to lose everything I’d done yesterday at VAJ first crash.
So I came in this morning with the firm intention to tell VAJ what I really thought of it. Redid everything, taking care to release versions. Well, looks fine. But that was a bit presomptuous on my part. Anyway, around 10 this morning, VAJ started to behave erraticly, complaining about whatever bean or user java code which happens to be not responding. Then crash. I’ve been trying to restart it, fix it, uninstall it, reinstall it ever since. Still no luck.
I’m kind of pissed off to be forced to use VisualAge. I thought it was behind me when I last used it in a project 3 years ago. And I was not even using Swing on that project but the quite good WebSphere Test Environment… I think it’s a mixture of having 2 or 3 JDKs on my machine which runs Win 2000.
Well, to be frank, I’m kind of pissed off. Full stop.¶
